Cats
Hello Poetry Lovers It’s pretty inevitable I’m going to talk about my favourite subject – Cats. When I was a child, the world seemed full of Eleanor Farjeon’s poems. Her beautifully illustrated collections were everywhere, and her pieces used to be a real favourite at school as many of her poems were read to us.Continue reading “Cats”
Trimeric Hour
Hello Poetry Lovers On the trail for a new poetry form once again. This time I’ve hunted down the Trimeric. A superb and fun form.

Do read on Trimeric Form ThereContinue reading “Trimeric Hour”

Now forgive me if I have directed it more to women PL’s than men. There are still things we can all identify with, especially the firstContinue reading “Didactic Corner”
Satin Secret
Hello Poetry Lovers For this post, I could not resist Sharron Green’s exquisite piece on something I’m confident we’re all guilty of. Also illustrating lacy underwear is so so alluring and reeks of glamour. Sharron’s poem is so clever and true, haven’t we all got a treasured yet very unused item like this?! Do readContinue reading “Satin Secret”
